Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018228674A1] The present invention relates to a MCN supporting E2E network slicing, which comprises a controlling entity (CA_NF), one or more NF entities extended with functionalities (CA‐NFExt), an OSS extended with functionalities (CA_OSSExt) and a coordination entity (CA_CF). The CA_NF communicates with the CA_OSSExt through the CA_CF using If‐CA_MP and If‐CAC_OSS interfaces, and with the CA‐NFExts using a respective If‐CA_NF interface and/or other NFs interfaces. Based on information received from the OSS and the NF entities, the CA_NF generates a context with a certain type, sends, based on the generated context, context‐related information towards any entity that is impacted by the generated context amongst the NF entities and the OSS, and blocks, for a period of time, a transmission of any generated context towards the NF entities upon receiving, from the OSS, a notification message once the OSS decides to enforce a change upon receiving the generated context from the CA_NF.
